A new Australian study reveals that a single 45-minute session of resistance training or HIIT significantly increases myokines in breast cancer survivors' blood. Myokines, proteins released during exercise, suppress inflammation and may slow cancer growth by 20-30%. Researchers observed a 47% increase in IL-6 (HIIT group) and a 23% increase in decorin (resistance group). While further research is needed, the findings suggest even one workout session could offer significant anti-cancer benefits.
